JUST SO YOU KNOW.......Not all state agencies got the benefitt of Ed's FREEBIE DAY.
So I wonder if those of us NOT EFFECTED should get an extra vacation day or Holiday to use at our descretion......WHY NOT we all have to listen to all you bitch.......

Don't worry, I'm sure we will be screwed in the end.....ED never forgets us !
Here's an idea....don't pay taxes, Get up off your lazy asses and shovel your own roads....plenty of jobs there for the Welfare Cases in Philly and Pittsburgh.

Let's face it.......all the big conferences are afraid to play Boise State, so it makes sense to "feed the lions" to them. Then in the end, everyone can say they only beat PSU and they didn't beat anyone this year. POLITICS PEOPLE......
Considering schedules this year......PSU should be playing Florida State, now that would be a good match-up. Bowden vs. Joe Pa one last time.

2 Points to make here: #1 Yes hunters in Pennsylvania are becoming more and more arrogant and they are destroying the repuatation of the majority.
#2 Take away the hunting senerio and ask yourself: Someone walks onto your property with a loaded firearm and theatens you. "What do you do ? "
This kid will most likely get off on some self defence plee and send a message that we no longer have the right to defend our property. I would hope they proscecute the TREASPASSER to the full extend of the law and send a message to others to RESPECT landowners rights.
I think Mr Shaffer probably just had enough of the BS from truckers running him off the road or hunters trespassing......it is a shame he had to pay for it with his life.

Looks like the Bureau of Forestry will soon become the Bureau of Gas Wells and Wind Mills. So I guess this means the PA WILDS will soon become the PA WELLS instead.
Poor Teddy Roosevelt must be roling in his grave ! What makes this worse.....DCNR aready has taken major hits on this budget. Who is suppose to manage all this well drilling on State Land ? Bet Fast Eddy has a few more $100,000 jobs to hand out to his buddies from Philly.
Amazing people are worried about tax on entertainment and games of chance while we RAPE our forests and natural resources.

TOO LATE,
The layoffs have already started.....who ever wrote this article should take 3 days off to review the facts.
What I don't and never will understand is WHY don't they trim the fat from the top. They lay off the lowest paid / hardest workers first.
OUR DEPT now has 3 managers for 4 supervisors and 4 employees......Does it really take 7 people to Watch 4 work ???????
YEA.....DCNR, look into that one, and who hired the guy in charge....RENDELL.

LAY THEM OFF.....THAT'S A START TO SAVING MONEY. MUST BE NICE TO BE PAID FOR NOT WORKING....

I DO KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK WITHOUT PAY THOUGH.

HERE'S ANOTHER IDEA....LET'S GIVE PHILLY TO NJ AND PITTSBURH TO OHIO. THEN WE CAN ALL GET WHAT WE ARE PAYING OUR TAXES FOR. EDUCATION FOR WORKING FAMILIES, HEALTH CARE FOR WORKING FAMILIES, AND RETIREMENT FUNDS FOR WORKING FAMILIES.

LAST POST ON PENNLIVE....I come to this site to get info on the budget and all I read is whinning about people WE ALL VOTED IN. Non of whom are in our posistion because WE gave them a job knowing full well what that involed.
I am a state worker, already put my 37.5 hours in this week and ready to head to my second job that I've had for the last 14 years because being a single parent requires me to do so.
Attempting to put my son thru college, and if that requires me to seek out a 3rd job I will do so. AND most likely will find one because I will accept ANY AND ALL WORK for his behalf.
I hunt, fish and grow my own vegtables, heat my home with wood, haven't taken a vacation in 15 years, don't drive a SUV and NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS I will survive this.
When called, I will respond to any Wildfire no matter if it's in your backyard or some STATE 2,000 miles from home.
That's what I do, I serve the public, I provide for my family and will continue to do so....Because that's what being an AMERICAN means to me.
TODAY.....I will go to my local legistlator, turn in my Voters registration card and get on with my life.
MY POINT-Instead of bashing others, STAND UP FOR YOURSELF AND GET OFF YOUR BUTTS AND SURVIVE.

Year after Year Gov Rendell has used State employees as his hostage to get his way. If you think he is going to cave to gives a Sh@! about us, think back to the garbage strike in Philly. It is time to fight back with his own tactics ! File for unemployeement because he has NO legal right to deny it, and cash assistance and food stamps.
If you can't beat them.....JOIN THEM ! Do our jobs as inefficently as the elected officials do. Remember you will be paid eventually, so when asked, TELL THEM..... I will do my work EVENTUALLY.
As long as it's business as usual they have no need or desire to speed this up. So it's time the union and all state employeees throw the pressure back on FAST EDDY......
